Beautiful Eyes

Eyes like the violet⁠—in them I see

All that is fair, that is holy to me!

Eyes that shed fragrance, so constant, so true,

Pure as a clear drop of morning dew.

Eyes like the violet, gently along

Lead me to vespers⁠—to prayer and to song.

Eyes like the violet, let me I pray

Live within range of thy glances all day!
